RECORDS Already in fhe twenty-three days of October ‘that have passed the deaths |in the town of Norwich, as recorded t the town clerk’s office have exceed- ed all former records for a_month. So far in October thers have been 138 deaths recorded at the town clerk’s office and the probability 1s that the total for tha: time will he a few more than this number for the updertakers probaoly. have some death certificates that they hive not vet placed on rec- ord. Of the 153 deaths, 137 were from either influenza or pneumonia. In September there were 56 deaths from these two causes in the last 21 days of the month so that the influenza ep- idemic has cost the lives of 193 peo- ple in abou: 45 days in Norwich.

With about forty present the annual meeting of the Norwich Chapter of the American Red Cross was held at 3 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon in the Chamber of Commerce building. Rev, Joseph H. Selden, chairman of tiae " Norwich chapter, presided and called the meeting to order. Tie minutes of the last meeting were read and later approved. Mrs. Robert W. Ferkins, secretary of the chapter, in a lengthy report, gave a review of the vear's work of the chapter. Mrs. Per- kins’ report follows in part We have come today for a review of the past year's work in the Nerwich chapter. To no citizen of Norwich is our Red Cross chapter more indebted than to Judge John M. Thayer. Jor nearly three years he has enabled us to car v out our work in centraily located, comfortable, well-lighted quarters; and we wish at this time to reiterate our expression of appreciation for his splendid patriotism. Tarly in November of last year, pressie of work as a member of the Council of Defense compelled the res- ignation of Miss Susan Huatington as! supervisor of the active work of the chapter. Mrs. W. Tyler Olcott, chair- man of the Garment committee, Wwas elected to succeed her in the office, now known as Director of Chapter Production.. For a year Mrs. Olcott has filled this difficult position with rare tact and skill. During the month of December, 1917, the sale of the Red Cross seals was carried cn as in former years, un- der the direction of Francis J. Leav- ens, so long the honored chairman of this chapter. 41,825 seals were sold in Norwich and_vicinity. In money yalue this means $418.35, of which 15 per cent. went to the State Tuberculosis Commission, for the expense in con- nection with the manufadture of the seals, and 85 per cent. remains in our treasury to be used for ihe preven- tion and alleviation of tuberculosis in our own community. During the past year we have paid the expense of two paticnts at the sanatorium and assisted financially one of their families. Weo have also under partial payment of ihe board of a Norwich young man, transferred to Hartford, and have contributed to the Christmas cheer in the Norwich Sanatorium. The result of the membership cam- paign was as follows: Of the 5,912 en- rolied, 1,798 were unexpired member- ships ' renewed. New members, 4114, The total membership at the close of drive was 8,854, The chapter is indebted to Mr. Rick- etts, his energetic and able committee, and to his many assist more_than five hundred in numlgr. for their in- valuable aid in condf tiug the cam- aign ince that time we have had a con- siderable addition to the membership, but as a number of the enrollments Quring the campaign werc from the Taftville )chapter and a large number from ouf of town, and because sever- al duplicated their enroliments, we have mot vet passed the 000 mark, the last inventory, taken August 1st, 782, AW of our members who wre in the Federal service are being kept on our Honor Roll, with remis- during the week of De- to 23rd, there will be a Christmas Roll Call of the whole American people to membership in the Red Cross. During the month of March the formal organization of the Home Ser- vice Seotion of .the chapter was ef- fected. James Macpherson was elected chairman and Miss Ethel Sevin, sec- retary. This branch of the work is erhaps the most important in the vide range of Red Cross operations. The visiting and consulting com- mittee of the Home Service Section includes representatives from the talian, Russian, _ Poli Romun Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish people :also from _the Knights of Columbus, the Backus hos- pital, the State Tuberculosis Sanato- rium, the Y. M. C. A, the Exemption Board, and the United Workers in their visiting nurses and the City Mis- sionary, Mr. Northrop. Home Service representatives have also been ap- pointed in every town or village allied with this chapter. Those closely asso- ciated with the work are doing thejr best to see that within our territory there shall be no family of a soldier or a saijor ogt of reach of thie helpful and sympathetic service The Norwicl: chapter has been call- ed upon to send.forward ietters to Ttaly, Germany, Poland and Russia. We have received assurance from the Rome agency, through Washington. that a mother and four children in the fightin; ict i will have food and word has hroug] joy and relief to_the husband and son, who came fo Nor- wich before the war broke out, hoping later to send for the family. Some arranzement is to be made later whereby the father, may make pavments for their support through the agency of the Red Crass. We were recently asked to send a reply o a letter from an enemy coun- try. transmitted through Washington. The bearer Joy at the recipt of th ing the first ward from her parents in 1 vear and a half. It is a cause for gratitude that there is an through which anxious bearts find relief. In the case of men in mil- itary service, the correspondcnce with the Bureau of Communication is now handled by the Home Service Sec- tion. The outcome of the second war drive fund was a sum of £12,0000 in excess of the amouNt asked for and #ben Learned, the chairman of the drive, was able to turn ver to the Second Red Cross War Fund the sum of $52,000.40, the contribution of 19,- 138 willing donors. The Norwich chapter has long since sent its con- gratulations to Mr. Learned and wish- ©s to take this opportunity to extend its message of deepest appreciation to each and every one of his assistants. The first suggestion thati the school children of the United States should Ba called upon to assist in Red Cross work stirred many minds with ques- tions as to the Wwisdom of the plan. Not a few of us felt that the two bus- inesses of chiidren’s lives were play and school. Tn some instances parents and teachers feareq lest the schools should be exploited for supplies and their recreational and edvcational ac- tivities seriously * interfered with. Mapy of us could have wished that children should know as little as po: sible about the horrors and the suf- ferings of war. But the children's eves and ears had not been closed. They asked and would not be denied a chance to heip. The Junior Red Cross was organized and has dope a large amount of work. It is much fo be regretted that, ow- ing to absence from town. Miss Hunt- ington has been obliged to sever all eonnection with this important work. To fill the unexpired portion of her term in office, we have been very for- tunate jn securing Mrs. Rennett Geines. forme-ly of Meriden, who has very successfully organized and su- vervised the Junior work iu that eity. On June 18th of this year a bureau of nursipg seryice was organized with Mrs, Charles H. Preston, chairpan Mrs. W. K. Tingley, supervisor. Dur- ing that month the National Soclety sent out a call for 25000 graduate nurses ffi;udg Red EH;;- service, the number to be secured by January 1st, 1915, The alloiment for Nerwich etter. Tt be- T was 40. Applications were recelved from seven, two of whom have been assigned to duty, one at Camp Whee- ler, Macon, Ga., and the other at the ‘Reconstruction Hospital at Cape May, N. J. Both express themseives as highly pleased with their work. In Juiy the committee assisted in the Student Nurse Campaign which was!| conducted by the Couneil of Defense. The _ drive lasted two weeks, during which time thirteen applications were 1eceived. During the epidemic of in- fluenza this burean rendered valuable assistance to the hospitals. 3 It is at present taking part in_the conduct of a National Nursing Sur- vey, which includes nurses of- all classes, The formation of ciasses in “hygiene and home care of the sick” has been delayed because of the epi- demic; they will be started in the near future, Any one wishing to join such a class or to-receive information con- cerping it will kindly apply to Mrs. Charles H. Preston. Ceunty Fai At the annual fair of the New Lon- don County Agricultural Society, held September 2, 3 and 4, the local chap- ter was given the opportunity for an exhibition of 1ts work, in which much interest was shown apd for which many small contributions were made. To the latter the agricultural has re- cently added $75 which is 25 per cent. of the third day's gate receipts. New Quarters. As early as last spring, the rapid expansion of our work made larger quarters imperatively necessary. The co-ordination of all branches under one roof was greatly to be des‘red. After many discouraging and un- successful quests, Judge Ayling was approached as to the possibility of our Faving the use of some portion of the Elxs' Home. The suggestion was fa- vorably received, and after confer- ences of committees from both parties the use of the home was generously ofiered by the order of Eilks to the Red Cross during the period of the war. Saturday, Sept. 7, the change was made, and on Tuesday, the 10th, the rooms were open to the public as usual. The house is admirably adap ed to every department of our worl the number and spaciousness of the rooms entirely removing the conges- tion which brought about so many difficulties and annoyances. That the generosity and self denial of the mem- bers of the club is fully appreciated is corfirmed by the daily expression of gratitude for the privilege of work- ing in the home. We are confident that no chapter in Connecticut, or even in New England, is better housed. We are much indebted to Judge ‘Avling for his assistance and to_our friends, the Order of Kiks. During the eleven months ending Nov. 1, 1017, the surzical dressings fcrwarded numbered 35,5 During the eleven months ending October 1 1918, the number forwarded was 11 970, more than three times as man: in ‘point of labor; several times many when it is taken into consider: tion that of this number some 18,000 were the large absorbent pnds, to niake one of which would take as long as to make twenmty or more of the sinaller dressings.

Duri auxiliaries have been formed Titchville, Preston City, Occum and Versailles, Poquetanuck, Salem and Leffingwell: also ome at the Central Faptist church in Norwich. So far as possible the detailed reports of their work have been given in the daily papers. It is especialiy in the making of bandages and garments {hat they have been so successful and have contributed so largely fo the out- put of the chapter. In addition, many fave sent in sums of money varying in amount from 340 to $150. the pro- ceeds of entertainments jor the Red Without the assistance of the Bul- letin and the Record the work of the Red Cross eould not properly be car- ried on.

To each and to all we are deeply grate- ful. 1 end my story of the work of our chapter in this eventful year with all my heart rejoicing that we in_ our sheltered homes have been permitted to share in the service which has car- ried our boys across the sea to the blood-stained fields of France.

After the treasurer's report Chair- man Selden spoke briefly on tie com- ing campaign for membership which will be launched about Christmas. He vrged every member of the chapter to work and work. hard for the great cause. He also spoke of the need of a maintenance fund, saying that the money raised by the Red Cross is Zor some special department of the ser- vice but there is no allowance made for necessary expenses. He estimated that the local chapter would need out $1200 to carry it through the vear and outlined a plan whereby the money wouid be raised in the various citurches in the city. After the tal by Rev. Mr. Selden the meeting ad- Jjourned. CLOCKS AND FLOOR LAMPS ARE THINGS OF BEAUTY The tall clock has made its way in a wonderful manner of late, consider- ing the fact that once its station was supposed to be merely some dark cor- ner in the hail, to tick out its “For- ever, Never!” as Longfeilow has sung about. Now this style of antique timepiece has invaded the _dining room, even the living room and libra- ry, and having thus emerged from its front hall obscurity, it has taken on new airs, dolled up, in fact, to suit its surprising environment. This change of locale is due in a measure to the strong fad for Colonial things in house furnishing. The makers have put on the ket a handsome beginning with $55. A close rival of the tall clock in favor is the floor lamp, in which a tic developmeht is finding wonderfully fine expression this scason. Such ef- fective combinations of ~metal and glass were undreamed of il war set the wits of ingenious American manu- facturers and their designers at work. Fasginating beyond . words, too, are hades being fitted to these ch a shade in two-toned a beautiful lamp seen onne example most vhich was priced at d_ ornate purchased at, fig- charming pagoda and white metal New, too, was a lamp, of amber gla: frame, capable of ing, and priced 3 especially practical as well as beauti- ful lamp, so cquipped that .when one bulb 3 turned off the upper portion of the lamp was dark, while there re- mained a subdued glow in the stand- ard, making this fine design suitable for night use. Women enthuse over the return of cane fitting, as referred to yesterday, a revival of the period of William and v. Popular, too, are Colonial ta- and tea wagons, while it is sur- g what handsome exampies of tables with gate legs, and desks with spinet legs are shown, chiefly in choice mahogany. It is not a bi too early to think of selecting holiday gifts, and certainly nothing couid be more practical or beautifu! than one of these tables or clocks or lamps which add so much to the appearance of a room. Prices range so a fit every purse: con- sequently buyers interested could not dp better than select from the fine stocks offerd by mrchants who h: the latest and most reliable designs in all house fittings, and who in today’s advertisements in The Bulletin tell of their desire to aid in satisfactory se- lecting. APPEAL FROM PROBATE OF LEDYARD ESTATE TLeonard Chapman of Norwich h brought an appeal in the superio cour(, returnable the first Tuesday in November, from the of the Ledyard probaie court to remove C rus E. Chapman of Ledyard as admin- trator of the estate of the late Au- gustus L. Chapman of ledyard. When the Ledyard probate court is- sued the finding on Aug. 29, 1918, re- fusing to remove the administrator, it 1s0_ruled that a deposit of $300 made May 1899, in the New Haven avings bank by the late Augustus L. Chepman in the name of his cldest son, Melvin Chapman, was and now is the property of Melvin Chapman. The deposit with interest now amounts to $1.659.29. The court also approved the 1 bills and claims presented estate and ruled that the e removal of the body of Mr L. Chapman from a cemetery in Rhode Island to the Ledyard cemetery, beside that of her husband, must not be taken from this estate, but the court! requested the heirs to come to some agreement whereby the body may be removed. ¢ of gainst the EVENING SCHOOLS IN EASTERN CONNECTICUT The town of Sprague is to open an evening school which will be held in the public school at Baltic.
